OOC: posting in the right forum --- bad joke ...

taking the term intelligence.. intelligence is all perspective in the most basic terms anything alive has an intelligence of 1, anything dead has an intelligence of 0, what these number mean is questionable, but on a productive biological level generally only those with 1 IQ will appreaciate the rating.

As for intelligence it is for the most part a cultural disposition that may be tied into life skills whether they be political/goal status oreinted, or surivival and quality of life based or a combination of the two or more.

i'm a person of faith so I find the concept of intelligence to be questionable since we are all serving gods purpose and our purpose in union with god regardless. I think for many with a modern with perhaps slight leanings to post moderninity concept to intelligence would be largely based on memory, and the ability to use thought to constructive purpose, generally tied to some perspective unit be it self, a cultural group/segment of society, or society as a whole.

It is all perspective, but if political or goal oriented it pretty much is what are you trying to acheive and how capable are you at accomplishing it, and can you meet the goals you set out to accomplish wherever they exist.


Biologically speaking I would say good nutrition (chemical interactions and cell stimulation/growth maitanance, the right environment that stimulates good cellular function, and stimulation/training directed at creating an environment from whch to train neural pathways to have the best responses for the difinition of 'intelligent actions' for a given scenario.

In full I think the concept of intelligence is tied in large part to capacity to learn, and in a teaching scenario the capacity to give the results that are requested, in a modern educational perspective "the concentration camp model" people spend time learnjng how to answer something, then if they answer the right way they are classed as "situationally intelligent"

people that excel in many different contexts are then savants, prodigies etc.. etc.. genious or other terms of praised etc.. etc..

Intelligence is the ability to accumulate and rapidly recall information that you have a commanding understanding of. This is of course different from wisdom, which is the practical application of said information to particular contingencies of particular situations.

i think its a combination of good genes, good raising, and training your mind.

My mama always said, intelligent is as intelligent does.

what? Nobody in general is intelligent. :p

The ability to see it before stepping in it. Learn to do that, and you're well on your way to being intelligent.

that's basically it. The ability to rationally, coherently understand and predict the possible concequences of your actions, and base your actions on that understanding is a fundamental tenant of intellect.

in General? non-trollish behaviour.

No, that's wisdom, not intelligence.

Think more Gaius Baltar, and less Yoda.

In my opinion, it's the ability to comprehend complex subjects (as well as simple ones).

Generally, yes.

Dee dee dee :p

"All of the above". Definitely.

A general tendency to agree with me.

Oh, I agree:rolleyes: Hehehehehe.

Well, in though intelligence is determined by a person’s own innate ability to develop a mind set of their own and interpret the information that they are given in a intelligent manner. As well, ones own ability to apply knowledge and analyze a situation well

Analyse new situations quickly and make make the most of them.

It's simply a gift.
It can be nurtured by education, knowledge, experience, etc., but essentially it's a talent much like being musical or like being able to roll our tongue.

I'd say the ability to sack the right village effectively! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/dwarf.gif

Pancakes, hands down.

Research proves that eating breakfast is on the best things you can do. I wakes your body up, starts your metabolism, and promotes better brain functioning.

Therefore, pancakes make you smart. :p

Scent.

Scent.

So if I smell like a mad cow's ass I'm intelligent?

So if I smell like a mad cow's ass I'm intelligent?

Well, no.

So if I smell like a mad cow's ass I'm intelligent?No that means you have mad cow's ass disease.

What signals intelligence to me is being able to explain complex issues in everyday language. One, it means they actually understand what the hell they're talking about; two, they aren't so insecure that they think they need to speak above the heads of people; and three, they are smart enough to know that if they actually want anyone to give a shit, they have to really make themselves understood, not just to the elite.

I think your personal paradigm here exemplifies a prevailing attitude of arrogant presumption with regards to cognitive and social dynamics. For example, your diagnosis of so-called insecurity actually reveals an underlying insecurity yourself by means of what Freudians term a reaction formation. In addition your use of expletives displays an emotional instability which is affecting your objective judgement of the nature of intelligence.

And I like boobs.

Haahahahhaa...nicely done! My turn.

Perhaps at the zenith of my preoccupation with the affectation of what can be termed, 'intimidation via loquaciousness' is that many intellectuals in fact cloak themselves in the vestiges of privilege by deliberately obfuscating the issue in a manner which both intimidates, and alienates the receiver. At the nadir of my interest in the matter, is the only slightly illuminating issue of how in fact the overuse of multisyllabic verbiage relates inversely to penis size.

In any case, it does not take a great deal of time to acquaint oneself with the particular artifice of intellectual dissemination, and it can be tempting in the extreme to emulate this mode of speech in order to project an image of intellectualism. However, invariably the speaker does not have full cognative understanding of this new syntax, and simply falls into the puzzling habit of substituting inappropriate, but longer, words for ones that would be much more suitable. What is much more impressive, is the ability to in fact distill the essence of the issue down into words that do not alienate, but in fact illuminate the receiver.

Well put!

Well, in though intelligence is determined by a person’s own innate ability to develop a mind set of their own and interpret the information that they are given in a intelligent manner.

...you're being recursive :)

Fundamentaly speaking, inteligence would be the potential of the brain to adapt and change.

What that means, I have no idea.

Well, it's whether they're informed or not, have their own opinions, and how they can express themselves.
